Using EpiPen®

Caution: Never put your thumb, fingers, or hand over the orange tip. Never press or push the orange tip with your thumb, fingers, or hand. The needle comes out of the orange tip. Accidental injection into finger, hands or feet may cause a loss of blood flow to these areas. If an accidental injection happens, go immediately to the nearest emergency room. Tell the healthcare provider where on your body you received the accidental injection.
 

Warning: Do not flip the blue safety release off using a thumb or by pulling it sideways, or by bending and twisting the blue safety release. This may cause the device to activate by accident: a “click” is heard, the orange tip is extended, and the window is blocked. A device that has been activated by accident cannot be used for a patient in an emergency.
